The noise nuisance law must be executed without any prejudice

Dec 17, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
With regards to noise nuisance I would like to draw your attention to continued noise harassment every night of the week (Tuesday nights more pronounced) at the corner of Barr Street and Stanley Place.
There is a night club immediately on the left hand corner of Barr Street entering from Vlissengen Road, which operates up to 3.00 to 4.00 am in the mornings playing very loud music which disturbs the entire neighbourhood.
I know there is an enforced law for noise nuisance, but the operator of this night club seems to be above the law, as various reports were made to the police and yet the same thing continues night after night, they disturb the peace and are causing sleepless nights, not to mention the stress that a sick person goes through.
Are the people in power really taking the welfare of hard working taxpayers seriously? One can ask the question how a licence was granted for night club to operate in a semi-residential area, other than this night club the area is very peaceful.
Surely the residents around should have had a say before such a licence of this nature was issued.
Something needs to be done about this noise that people have to live with every night. The operator of this club has no regards for the law, the public and the people living in the area.
The same way drivers are charged for speeding, the operators/owners of these clubs should be charged a substantial sum when found to be operating above the allowed decibels.
Serious actions should be taken on these offenders. If this trend continues Guyana will have a lot of deaf people walking the streets.
If Guyana is to move forward the laws to protect the populace must be executed with transparency. The noise nuisance law must be executed without any prejudice.
